Clinton: I Urged 08 Supporters to Back Obama, Didnt Get That Respect from Sanders

[R B Garr]

281. Hillary was correct in her book observations, though. She was not given the respect

from his supporters that she showed Obama. It was her 2016 convention, sour grapes or not. She put a lot of public shows of support out for Obama, and her speech did not rip on the Democratic party or go over only her talking points.

The behavior we saw was not just at the '16 convention. It was also in caucuses, as well. It was well documented over a couple years, but it culminated in the huge display of disrespect we saw at the convention.

The main difference is that neither Hillary nor Obama cynically attacked the Democratic party. So there is no comparison. Attacking Democrats didn't happen with Obama. Attacking Democrats didn't happen with Hillary. The shade thrown at Democrats was a big part of the enthusiasm that Bernie generated. That is well documented, and that is what we saw at the convention.

It looks like I did read your post correctly, after all. Hence my first response, which is that the comparisons are off because neither Hillary nor Obama dissed our party as we saw at the '16 convention.

This is about Hillary's new book, "What Happened."
